Synopsis

"After the 1970s it was inevitable that the Conservative party would move away from the postwar consensus, but it was Margaret Thatcher who would make it Thatcherite. In the 1990s Labour was bound to be centrist; but Blair and Brown gave New Labour its distinctive shape.

After the banking crisis Labour was bound to reflect as public mood more critical of neo-liberal economies, and less confident about big state spending, but Labour in 2012 will also be shaped by the particular politics and personality of Ed Miliband.

Since becoming Labour leader Ed Miliband has successfully opened several new national political debates, from the 'squeezed middle' to 'responsible capitalism' and concern about diminishing opportunities for the rising generation.

These essays explore where this politics could take Labour - and there is a striking coherence, radicalism and optimism about the future they see."
